The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

may seem innocent to change PASOK had been in power in Greece for 20 years
since 1974. into PASOK had led the country for 20 years beginning in 1974,
but it is not.

Title: Opportunities for Russia and China in Greek Privatization
Teaser: Athens' privatization drive, while threatening Prime Minister
George Papandreou's leadership of his party, is a chance for Russia and
China to take over important Greek transportation and energy
Summary: Greece's eurozone partners are demanding that Athens accelerate
sales of public assets and allow an independent agency, likely to be
heavily influenced by Germany, to lead the privatization drive. There is
a risk that Greece's ruling PASOK party could rebel against Prime
Minister George Papandreou and eurozone austerity measures. But the more
significant long-term issue is that Russia and China could use the
privatization to snatch up strategic Greek assets.
Greece's privatization efforts have become central for the new
approximately 65 billion to 70 billion euro ($94 billion to $101
billion) bailout package being finalized by eurozone member states and
expected to be approved by the June 20 eurozone finance ministers'
meeting. As the chief condition of the new bailout plan, Greece's
eurozone partners are demanding that Athens speed up its sale of
publicly held assets and shift the responsibility of privatization from
the government to an independent agency that would, sources tell
STRATFOR, have considerable input from foreign governments. In other
words, Greece needs to sell about 50 billion euros worth of public
assets by 2015 and on terms that satisfy Germany and other eurozone
countries, regardless of the preferences of the Greek state that owns
the assets or the Greek public that depends on them for employment.
Greek privatization is a divisive issue that is threatening Prime
Minister George Papandreou's hold on his party. There is a danger that
the ruling PASOK party could revolt against Papandreou and eurozone
austerity measures, putting Europe's bailout efforts into question and
sending the sovereign debt crisis spiraling toward Portugal and Spain.
The long-term and geopolitical issue, however, is the effect that such
wide-scale privatization will have on strategic Greek assets, such as
ports and pipelines, which could find interested investors in Russia and
China, giving these powers a back door into Europe's transportation and
energy infrastructure. [Great summary]
Pain of Privatization
The new eurozone bailout plan has caused a political crisis in Greece.
The planned privatization of state enterprises means further layoffs of
public sector workers, and the Greek unemployment rate is already at
16.2 percent, more than 3 percent higher than a year ago. Employees of
Greek power utility PPC, telecommunication company OTE, and water
utilities EYDAP and EYATH have called a 24-hour strike for June 9 to
protest the privatization efforts, while the main private and public
sector unions, GSEE and ADEDY, will organize a general strike in the
country June 15.
Privatization, under most conditions, is painful. Inefficiencies built
into public companies due to political logic -- such as redundant
employment, subsidized pricing of goods and services, and wage inflation
-- are unraveled, to the consternation of a large segment of the
population. Furthermore, management positions in publicly held utilities
and businesses are often lucrative posts, which political leaders use to
reward party loyalists, or are even directly funded from the revenue of
the public companies. Thus, the workers facing unemployment and the
citizens protesting higher prices for goods and services are not alone
in resisting privatization; political elites, who are left without
important sources of economic revenue and patronage, also oppose it.
This explains why, historically, successful and thorough privatization
drives require a political outsider in the country to take control and
use privatization to evict established and entrenched elites. This is
why most successful and thorough privatization drives usually occur when
a political outsider takes control of a country and uses privatization
to evict established and entrenched elites from power. [We mean
political outsider as in opposition, not foreign power, right?]
Papandreou and his PASOK are most definitely not political outsiders.
Although it was out of power for five years before defeating the
center-right Neu Demokratia in 2009, PASOK had led the country for 20
years beginning in 1974. Therefore, the greatest danger in terms of
dissent to privatization is not from the mounting protests and strikes
on the streets of Athens and other Greek cities, which are largely
apolitical and offer no real alternative to the ruling party, but from
Papandreou's own party.
The events of the next few weeks will be crucial for Papandreou's
ability to retain control of his party. Because PASOK's popularity has
taken a dive, early elections would not benefit its members. Our
tentative forecast is therefore that Papandreou will be able to use the
prospect of being voted out of office to scare dissenting members of
parliament into supporting the new austerity measures. This depends on a
number of factors, including that street protests do not become violent
or out of control, which we do not foresee happening.
INSERT TABLE: Selected Greek Privatization Efforts
Opportunities in Privatization
A painful privatization drive for Greece, however, presents
opportunities for others to gain assets at potentially below market
value. German companies are taking interest in a number of Greek assets,
which is certain to frustrate Greeks, who see the forced privatization
drive as a loss of sovereignty and an insidious move by Berlin to
acquire control of potentially lucrative companies on the cheap. On June
6, as the new bailout agreement was being negotiated, Germany's Deutsche
Telekom acquired a 10 percent stake in Hellenic Telecommunications (OTE)
for around 400 million euros, giving German firms a 40 percent stake
plus one share in OTE [I assume we mean various German companies and not
the German government]. Athens is looking to sell another 6 percent of
OTE to Deutsche Telekom, but the German telecommunication company has
said it would invest further only if given full control over OTE's labor
Russian and Chinese companies also are looking to use Greek
privatization for geopolitical gain. For China, Greece is an interesting
strategic entry point into the Central and Eastern European emerging
markets. China would use the Greek ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki to
bring its goods to the Balkans, former Soviet countries like Ukraine and
Belarus, and Central European EU states like Hungary, Slovakia and
Poland. Beijing's logic is that it could expand its trade in
post-Communist Central and Eastern European countries where, considering
the region's generally lower income, the price point for Chinese exports
would be highly competitive. China Ocean Shipping Co. (COSCO) made an
investment in Piraeus in June 2010, leasing two container terminals for
35 years at a price of around $5 billion. COSCO's interest also was
piqued when the Greek government announced plans to privatize its entire
75 percent stake in the Piraeus port authority, and the Chinese company
wants to expand its investment both there and in Thessaloniki.
Russia is interested in using Greece to block a key European alternative
route for natural gas supplies. The European Union, which currently gets
[insert figure] percent of its natural gas from Russia, is looking for
alternatives to Russian-dominated natural gas transportation pipelines.
At the forefront of the union's plans is the "southern gas corridor,"
which is essentially an amalgamation of several different projects that
would bring Azerbaijani and potentially Central Asian or Middle Eastern
natural gas into Europe via Turkey. Greece is an important component of
this plan since it rests on one route by which natural gas piped through
Turkey would enter the European Union -- the other option would be to
fork north through Bulgaria and Romania. From Greece, any proposed
natural gas pipelines would have to make the short jump across the
Strait of Otranto to Italy. [Even though it would be longer, would it be
cheaper to go through Bulgaria/Romania since you don't have to build
INSERT: Map of Southern Corridor Options
There are currently a number of proposed pipeline projects that would
constitute the EU southern gas corridor, of which three are central. The
Nabucco pipeline is supposed to take the northern route from Turkey to
Austria via the Balkan EU member states. Two other pipelines would take
the southerly route from Turkey into Greece -- the proposed
Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and the Interconnection
Turkey-Greece-Italy (ITGI), of which the planned Poseidon offshore
pipeline is the underwater part from Greece to Italy.
The Greek government is directly involved in the ITGI project through
its ownership of the Greek public natural gas company DEPA, which is
collaborating with Italy's privately held natural gas company Edison.
The key for Russia, specifically natural gas giant Gazprom, is blocking
[Changed because we say later that it wants to put Russian gas through
the pipeline, not kill it] lies in this particular southern corridor
project [Why not TAP too? Would the southern corridor fall apart if it
lost one of the three?]. The offered proposed privatization of DEPA is
therefore an interesting opportunity for the Kremlin. Gazprom has had
its eyes on ITGI for years, negotiating with DEPA in 2010 to potentially
gain an ownership stake in the project. The deal seems to have fallen
through, with Gazprom now concentrating on the Greek plan to privatize
DEPA -- as much as 32 percent may be up for sale. This would give Moscow
a seat at the table when decisions are made about whose natural gas ITGI
carries, turning ITGI from an alternative to Russian natural gas to an
enabler of continued Gazprom dominance of Europe's natural gas market.
The key question is whether Greece's eurozone neighbors will try to
prevent China and Russia from gaining access to these geopolitically
strategic assets. It is assumed that the new privatization agency,
independent from Athens, would have major German influence since Berlin
is contributing the most cash for the Greek bailouts. As such, would
Berlin look to ensure that Athens' strategic assets are purchased by
fellow eurozone member states and not by Russia and China? The answer is
most likely no. Germany, an exporter of high-end, capital-intensive
goods, does not consider China's low-cost goods export competition,
which means there is no reason for Berlin to prevent Beijing's access to
Eastern and Central European markets. Second, Germany has a budding
political relationship with Russia, including a solid relationship
between Germany's E.ON Ruhrgas and Gazprom. It therefore is unlikely
that Berlin will do much to block Gazprom's designs in Greece either
[With its plans to shut down all those nuclear power plants, Germany's
big energy concern is probably making sure there's more natural gas
flowing in, right? It wouldn't really care where it comes from so long
as it comes]. Considering that Germany is expected to have the greatest
influence in decisions made by the new privatization agency -- and that
Berlin's interest is ultimately to get Athens to raise as much cash as
possible -- we do not foresee Berlin standing in the way of Russia and
China in Greece.

Just pulled car into garage and noticed my passenger side headlight washer jet cover is staying out about 2cm...nothing blocking it goingback in....any ideas
Probably grit and dirt stopping it. It's only raised by the pressure of the water. It has its own separate high pressure pump - no electrics involved.
I had this problem with mine, unfortunately lube didn't work and I needed a new jet - about £160 fitted -but fortunately the RAC warranty covered it. I took the plastic cover off until I got the jet replaced as it looked like it would blow off, a replacement needs painted I think. I reckon they are a pain, just make a mess of the bonnet so put a switch in the earth so I can turn them off, they are on the same relay and fuse as the windscreen washer motor so that was the only way I could think of to do it. If I hadn't had the warranty I wouldn't have bothered getting it fixed and would just have pushed it back in (although they may be a legal requirement if you've got xenon headlights and an mot failure - hence the switch!)
Mine was he same, there is a second pump for the headlight jets which seems to have a higher pressure than the screen one. The water pressure pushes the jets out and springs pull them back in, if they are even slightly out of true or contaminated they will stick out. It would be worth trying a good soaking with silicon spray and a clean out to see if that works.
The return springs are strong so if you're pulling it out probably best to get someone to operate the washers and grip the shaft - this sounds so wrong - to stop it going back in. The plastic cap is just held on with some small plastic clips and comes off quite easily, it'll probably just come off in your hand or break if you pull that. If you are not fussed about having them I would just push it back in and pull the earth wire from the pump, it's inside the nearside wheel arch cover in the engine bay, reservoir has 2 pumps on it, I can't remember which one is the screen and which one is the lights, but that would disable it. Don't know what kind of lights you've got, if they are manually adjustable that will probably be OK, if they are xenons you might be taking a chance at mot time, although mine just passed and I'd forgotten to switch the washers back on.
Pump facing the front number is for the lights. It's easier to disable via vagcom. I would take off the bumper and have a look rather than forcing anything as they won't be cheap to replace if damaged.

Promotion for next month's conference comes with Vision Camera card
UK studio Rare is co-organising next month's Women in Games conference - but has used promotion of the event as a chance to let out a few details of its Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradisem, which is released next week.Specifically, it has leaked out one of the collectable cards which can be scanned into the game using a 360 Vision Cam.
The conference itself, co-organised by Nicola Bhalerao a female games programmer on the new game, looks to promote the role women have to play in the games industry, and explore why girls can be turned off technology at a young age.
But Bhalerao has also treated fans while announcing her involvement in the conference - with, fittingly, a card of a female character from the game.
Prospective attendees of the event have just a week to sign up - registration closes on Friday, September 5th. It's being held at the University of Warwick from September 10th to 12th.

Updates to SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 are delivered in Upgrade Packs, which include new features, maintenance and security fixes, and new and updated drivers. Each Upgrade Pack is cumulative, including the contents of previous packs. Upgrade Packs are available on a 4 to 5 month cycle and can be downloaded from the SCO Update Service web site. Optionally, customers can elect to receive Upgrade Packs via CD-ROM. For a fixed fee, the SCO Update Service Upgrade option includes access to four (4) Upgrade Packs, where the fourth pack will upgrade systems to SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.8, allowing SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 customers to lock in their upgrade costs for the next 12 to 18 month period. Customers who decide not to purchase the SCO Update Service Upgrade option can make use of the SCO Update Service web site to obtain basic maintenance items (as provided today for SCO OpenServer 5.0.6), such as general fixes, security fixes, and updated drivers. With either option, registering at the SCO Update Service web site ensures customers that they are proactively notified of new SCO Update Service offerings. Customers who do not opt for the SCO Update Service Upgrade option can still secure the next release of SCO OpenServer at reduced prices by trading up to a new release when they are ready. Trade-in prices will average approximately 50% of the standard list price for the new release. The SCO Update Service for SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 may be purchased bundled with any version of SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7, or may be purchased separately at any time up to and including the release of the next to last Upgrade Pack before SCO OpenServer 5.0.8. To take advantage of the CD-ROM distribution option, a separate license key must be ordered. Model numbers and pricing are contained below. SCO OpenServer Development KitsSCO OpenServer 5.0.7 provides three development environments in the Media Kit. SCO OpenServer Development System, located on the SCO OpenServer base CD-ROM, is only intended for the continued development of legacy applications, COFF binaries, and SCO OpenServer native device drivers. For new development, one of the other development systems should be used. GNU Development Tools, located on the SCO OpenServer base CD-ROM, is intended for the development of new applications, including Open Source-based code. This kit includes the GNU compilers, debugger, object tools, libraries, and other Open Source tools. These tools are license-free. UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit (UDK), located on the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit CD-ROM, presents a cross-development environment for both SCO OpenServer and UnixWare and is described below. SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7 introduces a set of backwards-incompatible changes to the base development and runtime system. To maintain a uniform execution environment on previous OpenServer releases, supplements OSS646A and OSS631B should be installed on releases prior to SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7. This latest release of the UnixWare and OpenServer Development Kit (UDK) is designed to supercede the kit offered with UnixWare 7.1.2 (Open UNIX 8). It contains updated C and C++ compilers and the graphical debug tool that enables the rapid development of applications for SCO OpenServer Release 5.0.7.

It's one of the biggest nights of the Reno Rodeo events: the Miss Reno Rodeo coronation.
Friday night Melinda Cowan was crowned after a gruelling week of competition.
Her reign doesn't begin until this year's Reno Rodeo is over. Immediately after the festivities end, Cowan plans on working with the community of Reno to highlight what the Reno Rodeo Foundation does the other 355 days of the year.
The five contestants were asked the impromptu question at Friday night's pageant, "If you were to trade places with the Reno Rodeo President for a day, what would you do and why?" Cowan's answer: to get Red Bull as a sponsor because Red Bull tends to sponsor extreme events, and caters to a younger crowd.

SF Weekly's Master Minds is asking artists to submit thier works for a chance of being 1 of 3 artists awarded $1,500 in monies... They are currently having an open casting call for local Bay Area artists to submit their work in any of the following categories: Performing Arts, Visual/Digital Media, Fashion/Design, Performing Arts and Film/Video/Media. ~Click here for more info.
When works of art become commodities and nothing else, when every endeavor becomes "creative" and everybody "a creative," then art sinks back to craft and artists back to artisans—a word that, in its adjectival form, at least, is newly popular again. Artisanal pickles, artisanal poems: what's the difference, after all? So "art" itself may disappear: art as Art, that old high thing. Which—unless, like me, you think we need a vessel for our inner life—is nothing much to mourn.
Hard-working artisan, solitary genius, credentialed professional—the image of the artist has changed radically over the centuries. What if the latest model to emerge means the end of art as we have known it? --continue reading

(HealthDay News) -- If it's healthier hair you seek, the American Academy of Dermatology offers these suggestions:
If your hair is oily or has dandruff flakes, wash it daily.
Treated hair should be washed less frequently. So should the hair of an elderly person, whose scalp produces less oil.
Use a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your type of hair.
Shampoo primarily the scalp instead of the length of the hair. The latter can make hair dull and coarse.
Condition hair after each shampoo, concentrating conditioner at the ends of the hair.
If you swim frequently, protect hair with a snug-fitting swim cap, and use shampoo for swimmers.

How Can I Become a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor?
Licensed chemical dependency counselors help individuals who have addiction problems. Find out the education and license required along with the daily tasks for these professionals. Schools offering Addiction Counseling degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Responsibilities for Chemical Dependency Counselors
These professionals counsel individuals who have substance abuse problems in private and group settings. They also work closely with other social workers and healthcare practitioners to create client treatment plans. As a chemical dependency counselor, you'll participate in conflict resolution sessions with clients and their families. You may also interpret the results of breathalyzer and urine tests to determine a client's level of dependency. Overall, you should be a detailed problem solver with excellent listening skills. In addition, most counselors have a strong understanding of interpersonal relationships.
What Kind of Education Do I Need?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, states vary widely in terms of educational requirements for chemical dependency counseling licensure. In some states, you can qualify for licensure with a high school diploma and professional certification (www.bls.gov). However, many states only accept applicants who have completed some postsecondary training.
To meet this requirement, you could pursue an associate's degree in chemical dependency counseling. If you already hold an associate's or bachelor's degree, certificate programs in this field are also available. A few schools offer substance abuse counseling bachelor's program, but they're rare.
In many programs, your core courses will include group counseling techniques, alcoholism, signs of addiction, professional ethics and case management. Most programs require completion of an internship at a counseling facility. While the hands-on training you'll gain through a postsecondary program could fulfill most of your state's licensure requirements, additional professional experience is often required.
Get Licensed
Upon completion of your degree program and required field hours, you can sit for your state's licensure exam. Many states offer different types of licensure depending on education and experience. For example, in Ohio, you can pursue the Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor II (LCDC) credential if you hold an associate's degree in a behavioral science and have completed 5,000 hours of professional substance abuse counseling. If you hold a bachelor's degree in a behavioral science and have completed 4,000 hours of professional experience, you could earn the LCDC III designation. In other states, like Washington, only one level of certification is available.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Sony unveiled a new waterproof phone that can take ultra-high-definition video. Nokia introduced three Android smartphones aimed at emerging markets. And Lenovo announced one with an all-glass exterior.
Yet the spotlight Monday was on Samsung, which announced a successor to its flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone. The Galaxy S5 will feature a heart-rate monitor, a fingerprint sensor for security and a sharper camera with faster auto focus.
Samsung's glitzy announcement during the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona, Spain, made it harder for other phone makers to get noticed. Samsung had several times the attendance of either Sony's or Nokia's event Monday. An orchestra opened Samsung's event as blue spotlights moved up and down the aisles.
"It's increasingly difficult to get attention for your mobile device in a very crowded marketplace," said Dan Hays, U.S. wireless advisory leader at the consulting firm PwC.
It's even more difficult when one of the competing devices comes from Samsung Electronics Co., which announced the new phone a day after it unveiled two new computerized wristwatches, the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo. Samsung also announced a fitness band on Monday. Apple is the only company that might be able to overshadow Samsung, but it isn't attending or announcing anything at the show.
Roger Entner, an analyst with the Recon Analytics research firm in Boston, said the S4 and its predecessor, the Galaxy S III, were both blockbuster phones and have helped Samsung surpass iPhone maker Apple Inc. as the world's largest smartphone maker. According to Gartner, Samsung had a 31 percent market share last year, compared with 16 percent for Apple. No other company had more than 5 percent.
More important than having well-made phones, however, "is that they are spending a significant amount on advertising," Entner said.
Samsung spent nearly 4.6 trillion won ($4.3 billion) in advertising in the 12 months through September, about four times the $1.1 billion Apple spent in the same period, the latest for which figures were available. Although Samsung also makes TVs, refrigerators and other products, analysts believe much of the marketing is for newer products such as phones.
In a November interview with The Associated Press, Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside said Samsung has shown "that marketing can really create a product and create a phenomenon. We're never going to have the money that they have to market our products."
The only other company that comes close to matching Samsung's muscle is Apple. The iPhone's debut in 2007 showed the world that phones can do much more than calls and messages. Since then, each new iPhone release has taken on an aura of a rock concert, with the most devoted Apple fans lining up at stores for hours or days to buy one.
Apple typically skips trade shows, however, and prefers holding its own events.
In fact, Samsung also typically holds its own events. Last year's Galaxy S4 announcement came in New York a few weeks after the Barcelona show. But timing this year's unveiling to the show is a good opportunity for Samsung to make deals with wireless carriers and other partners.
Sony Mobile President Kunimasa Suzuki said that with Apple and Samsung so dominant, the real battle is for No. 3. He said that means marketing that is focused by country and product line.
"It doesn't mean we just directly compete with the big giants," he said in an interview Monday.
Despite all the marketing power, Samsung will have to give people a reason to upgrade. There's a notion that phone improvements these days are incremental rather than innovative.
Samsung tried to shatter that notion by highlighting features not found in other phones. That includes a heart-rate sensor to complement its upcoming wearable fitness devices. The S5 is also among the first to have a fingerprint sensor for security, though that's already in Apple's iPhone 5s.
In the past, Samsung has tried to appear innovative by packing its Android phones with a slew of features, such as automatic scrolling of content when the phone or user's head is tilted. But these features don't always work as promised and come across as disjointed from one another.
Samsung also has been updating phones by making their screens larger. The S5 continues that trend, with a display that measures 5.1 inches (12.95 cm) diagonally. By contrast, the S4 was 5 inches and the original S from 2010 was 4 inches. The iPhone's screen has stayed steady at 4 inches since 2012.
Meanwhile, Sony Corp. said its new Xperia Z2 smartphone will have noise-cancelling technology that works with an in-ear headset sold separately. It will be able to capture video in

ICAP PLC (IAP) - Trading Statement RNS Number : 1713N ICAP PLC 26 September 2012 ICAP plc Trading Statement London, 26 September 2012 - ICAP plc (IAP.L), the world's leading interdealer broker and provider of post trade risk and information services, announces its trading update ahead of the close period for the half year ending 30 September 2012. Activity in the global capital markets remained subdued due to the Eurozone crisis and the well-recorded difficulties faced by the global economy. Performance across ICAP's voice and electronic businesses has remained more muted than anticipated at the time of the AGM in July 2012. There has been, however, some improvement in trading volumes in September. As a result, Group revenue in the six months ending 30 September 2012 is expected to be around 14% lower than the previous year. The Group continues to make good progress with its structural review of recurring costs, and is on schedule to deliver at least £50 million per annum of run-rate savings by the end of the current financial year. Notwithstanding the more recent pick up in volumes, activity levels remain difficult to predict and it is not yet clear whether signs of improved confidence are sustainable. Due to the successful cost reduction programme, the Group anticipates that if volumes in the second half remain at current depressed levels, then pre-tax profits^1 for the year to 31 March 2013 will be within the current analyst range of £307 million to £346 million. ICAP's voice division was reorganised in August to create a single, global voice broking division which was renamed Global Broking. This will enable the Group to execute a more globalised strategy for broking services. Global Broking activity has been slow, in part due to the London Olympics and the ensuing extended holiday season. In September, EBS, ICAP's leading electronic foreign exchange platform, announced system and policy changes following extensive consultation with its customers to improve the performance of the platform. EBS's performance has been impacted by a decrease in volumes across the FX market and by two of its main currencies, the Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen, being subject to intervention, which has resulted in significantly decreased volatility. Overall volumes on BrokerTec, ICAP's leading fixed income platform, have also been affected by low rates and a flat yield curve. BrokerTec has, however, seen an improvement in its market share following the recent significant upgrade to the platform. ICAP's electronic platform for euro interest rate swaps, i-Swap, saw a substantial increase in activity towards the end of the first half and continues to maintain its market leading position. Overall demand for ICAP's post trade, risk mitigation and information products and services remained solid. Traiana, in particular, saw very strong double-digit revenue growth. Commenting on the first half and outlook, Michael Spencer, Group Chief Executive Officer of ICAP, said: "The macroeconomic environment remains difficult and it's too early to judge if recent actions by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank will result in a sustained improvement in market confidence. In any event, we will continue to take the necessary action to constrain our cost base as well as position ICAP optimally for upcoming financial regulatory reform." "We have a strong balance sheet and continue to convert profit very efficiently into cash. Our diversified business, together with multiple initiatives in our electronic and post trade businesses, will ensure that we benefit from regulatory and market changes and build on our position as the industry leader." Notes: 1. Profit is defined as pre-tax profits from continuing operations excluding acquisition and disposal costs and exceptional items. 2. ICAP expects to publish its results for the half-year ending 30 September 2012 on 14 November 2012. 3. This document contains forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results and business of ICAP plc. By their nature, forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainty and there may be subsequent variations to estimates.

STEVENSON'S POEMS There with these You shall give ear to breaking seas And windmills turning in the breeze, A distant undetermined din Without; and you shall hear within The blazing and the bickering logs, The crowing child, the yawning dogs, And ever agile, high and low, Our Nelly going to and fro. There shall you all silent sit, Till, when perchance the lamp is lit And the day's labour done, she takes Poor Otto down, and, warming for our sakes3 Perchance beholds, alive and near, Our distant faces reappear. MY LOVE WAS WARM MY love was warm; for that I crossed The mountains and the sea, Nor counted that endeavour lost That gave my love to me. If that indeed were love at all, As still, my love, I trow, By what dear name am I to call The bond that holds me now ?

Split into starters, mains, 'Just Desserts' and so on, Free Lunch aims to dish up enough digestible economic theory to ensure survival if the chatter at your middle-class dinner party turns to the financial issues of the day, starting with house prices. For the most part, Smith, the Sunday Times's economics editor, is an amiable and talented dining companion. He can occasionally patronise ('Micro is small, macro is big) and the menu trope does get tiresome - a tapas selection might have been more appropriate given Smith's tendency for digression - but there's a good glossary and list of 'Post-Prandial Reading'.

Here's how they're made, and how a team of engineers and bike enthusiasts hopes to make bamboo bike building a thriving, locally owned business in Africa and beyond. By Eric Marx Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery 3 of 5 Bamboo must be grown with sufficient space between the stalks to achieve a consistently strong thickness. After harvesting, the stalks are heat-treated to make them more durable. That could include smoking, or using flame torches and ovens. To prevent water damage, the bamboo is typically coated with a sealant such as polyurethane. In Ghana, though, the team shelved the torches and went with a combination borax and air-drying treatment. "It's funny," says Odlin, "we tested all the bamboo, treated it in a whole bunch of different ways, and we ended up with the most simple method." Next, the pieces are placed in a jig, forming the familiar two-triangle shape of a bicycle frame. The team designed what they call an adjustable wrapping jiga standard device for holding parts in place, which they altered to let the bike stand upright. That allows a continuous workflow and a rapid assembly process. "That was probably the most important innovation," Odlin says. Where metals frame parts would typically be welded in place, the bamboo design instead involves sliding the stalks into sockets called lugs, which are molded out of oversize balsa-wood blocks that are hollowed out . The joints are then wrapped in spools of carbon ribbon (or fiber or fabric) that soak up epoxy and resemble black electrical tape. "The whole secret is how you connect the bamboo," says Flavio Deslandes, a Brazilian industrial designer who has been building bamboo bikes since the mid-1990s.

Or simply go to the aggregated tag results from:
Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) militants conducted simultaneous attacks against security forces in Datu Piang in Maguindanao. Authorities looked into reports that a German couple kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf may be captive on a southern island. Captured Abu Sayyaf commander Khair Mundos has told authorities that he met last year in Maguindanao with Marwan a.k.a. Zulfikli bin Hir, a top Malaysian terrorist suspect who was reportedly killed in 2012; the meeting at a BIFF camp also included a Singaporean militant, Muhamda Ali a.k.a. Muawiyah, and another militant, Amin Baco, said to be a Malaysian. On Aug. 6, the military said that bin Hir, a top Jemaah Islamiyah leader also wanted by the US, is alive and in Mindanao. A group called Ansar al-Khalifah in the Philippines, from southern Mindanao, issued a video announcing its allegiance to the Islamic State.
A group of Abu Sayyaf fighters led by Idang Susukan and Sibih Pisih ambushed two buses in Talipao in Sulu that were carrying 50 people celebrating Eid al-Fitr, killing at least 16, most of them women. The Western Mindanao counterterrorism force said the 10 policemen escorting the civilians were probably the real targets of the attack; a search for the attackers has begun. Abu Sayyaf released a kidnapped construction worker. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front accused the military of violating the ceasefire in MILF areas in Maguindanao province, but the military said its operations were actually against Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in areas close to those held by MILF. President Aquino vowed that reforms would be carried out even if he is killed by a bomb.
Militants from the Bangsamo Islamic Liberation Front attacked security forces in two towns in Maguindanao province yesterday, killing one soldier and wounding two others; 17 militants were killed in the clash, including a close aide to BIFF leader Ameril Ombra Kato. The BIFF disputed the army's report. Army operations are continuing in the area.
Islamic extremist Musa Cerantonio 'different' to other prisoners
Australian extremist cleric Musa Cerantonio was arrested in Cebu with a female companion, several days after he had boasted that he had arrived in Syria to support the Islamic State. The Philippines military said it is checking to see if the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters is receiving financial support from the al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah.

Southeast Asian jihadist leader and bomb expert is alive, in Philippines
Zulkifli bin Hir, a most-wanted terrorist linked to Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Sayyaf, and the KMM who was reported killed in 2012, is operating in the southern Philippines.Abu Sayyaf operative thought killed in US drone strike spotted in Philippines
Abdel Basit Usman, a bombmaker and wanted member of the Philippines-based, al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf Group, was recently spotted during a raid on a Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters camp on Mindanao; Philippines press reports had claimed he was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan in January 2010. Basit is said to be building bombs for the BIFF, possibly with funding from Jemaah Islamiyah, al Qaeda's regional affiliate in Southeast Asia. The BIFF rejected a peace treaty signed earlier this year between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
During a daylong battle in Basilan that began as an attempt to capture Abu Sayyaf commander Puruji Indama, three Islamist rebels and two soldiers were killed, and 29 soldiers were wounded. Abu Sayyaf is also suspected in the kidnapping of two people in Malaysia on April 2. Security forces killed two members of an Abu Sayyaf-linked kidnapping cell in Zamboanga and arrested six others, including a Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) commander and a policeman; four suspects escaped during the raid. President Aquino formally received a draft law regarding the autonomy of the Bangsamoro area from the MILF.
The government has signed a peace agreement with a Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the country's largest Muslim rebel group, giving greater autonomy to Muslim areas of Mindanao, to be called Bangsamoro, in exchange for the MILF's surrender of its weapons. The accord, reached after the loss of 120,000 lives in 40 years of conflict, and years of sporadic negotiations, does not include smaller Muslim insurgent groups such as the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and the al Qaeda-linked Islamist group Abu Sayyaf.
Philippines and Rebels Agree on Peace Accord to End Insurgency
Government troops killed 17 Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters in an offensive in Mindanao against the group, which has been trying to undermine the peace deal between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. The clash started yesterday when authorities attempted to arrest 25 BIFF members suspected of kidnapping and murder.
The government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front signed the final part of the Annex on Normalization, a 2012 peace plan, setting the stage for an agreement that allows the rebels to establish an autonomous state of Bangsamoro on the island of Mindanao in exchange for decommissioning their weapons. Jun Jalal Akilan, a.k.a. Temeng, an Abu Sayyaf militant suspected of kidnapping three teachers in 2009, was arrested in Zamboanga. Security forces clashed with some 50 New Peoples Army rebels in Zamboanga del Norte, after at least 40 NPA rebels took hostages in Zamboanga del Sur.

The government signed a peace deal with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, under which the group gives up its goal of an independent state in exchange for power and wealth-sharing in a new autonomous region. Two days earlier, MILF rebels attacked a police station in Marawi City, taking the police chief hostage, killing a civilian, and freeing a number of MILF prisoners; the MILF political affairs chief called it an isolated incident. A military official said the al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf is still holding 17 hostages in Sulu, including foreigners; a Jordanian hostage escaped or was released a few days ago.
Defense Secretary Gazmin claimed victory over the rebels in Zamboanga, but acknowledged that Habier Malik, the commander of the Moro National Liberation Front group that stormed the Mindanao port city three weeks ago, is still unaccounted for. The military said 18 soldiers, five police, and 12 civilians had been killed. Officials reported 375 rebels as either killed, captured, or surrendered during the standoff, and said all of the hostages have been accounted for. Security forces are hunting down remaining militants said to be hiding in several of the city's districts.
Some 100 Moro National Liberation Front rebels who launched an assault on Zamboanga over a week ago are still holding hostages; at least 116 hostages have been rescued. A senior police commander briefly taken hostage by a small group of rebels trying to surrender was freed. The military said that 12 troops have been killed and 115 wounded in clashes, and that 120 rebels have been killed. It also said 80 percent of the territory seized by the rebels has been reclaimed. Another report said 93 rebels have been captured or arrested.
The military claimed to have recaptured 70 percent of the territory seized by 200 militants from the Moro National Liberation Front and to have killed 51 militants, but about 100 militants are still holding some 100 hostages. As the standoff enters its second week, 82,000 people have been displaced and 850 houses have been destroyed in clashes. The military launched helicopter gunship attacks today, and the government is no longer conducting negotiations.

LOL Vroomp! Not much of a treat in the garden but surprisingly tasty on the plate. Though I have to admit I've never prepared them myself I've only had them on a cruise. |
Yes I have used this for both slugs and earwigs. It works very well on both. You will see alomost none of these pests if you use this a 2 or 3 of times each gardening season. There are noticably less each year, almost totally getting rid of slugs. |

Infosys profit up on US deals
Comment on this storyMumbai - Indian outsourcing giant Infosys reported on Friday a better-than-expected 21 percent jump in quarterly net profit, after winning new deals from US clients.
The Nasdaq-listed firm said consolidated net profit climbed to 28.86 billion rupees ($481 million) in April-June from 23.74
billion rupees in the same period a year earlier.
Shares in the firm surged 4.16 percent to 3429.35 rupees in response to the announcement.
India's second largest IT services exporter by sales, which is based in the southern high-tech city of Bangalore, said it had signed 61 new clients in the quarter.
The results come after Infosys last month announced a new chief executive and said its co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy was stepping down as executive chairman following a string of high-profile departures.
Vishal Sikka, a former top executive from German giant SAP, takes over as chief executive next month.
Murthy left after returning from retirement as executive chairman in June last year to help revive the company's fortunes.
Infosys - created three decades ago by Murthy and six others around a kitchen table - has been losing market share to rivals such as Tata Consultancy Services and HCL.
In October, it said it would pay $34 million to the US government to settle an investigation into alleged visa fraud by the company.
Many of India's IT outsourcing firms have reported subdued growth in recent years due to a global economic slowdown. - Sapa-AFP
